Shelter from the Rain Vol. 01 Levi & Moblit Berner

Heavy drops of water poured down from an ashen sky to beat against the stone pavement.

"Whoa, there… What should I do now?" said the man as he ran under the store's eaves, his hands full of paper bags. A customer already inside replied to him in a surly voice.

"…It's just a passing shower."

"Captain Levi!" the man said as he tried to give a salute, nearly dropping all his belongings in the process.

"As you were. You… You're Hange's aide, aren't you?"

"Yes, sir! Vice Captain of the Fourth Squad, Moblit Berner."

"Running errands?"

"Yes, buying books and medicine, as well as daily necessities for the Squad Leader… And you, Captain?"

"Erwin summoned me. He said it's not something we can talk about in the barracks."

"…And you're not taking a carriage?"

"They kick up mud whenever they stop."

"I see," Moblit said, recalling that when out of battle, Levi was obsessed with cleanliness.

******

Captain Levi is the complete opposite of Squad Leader. But… I know the two trust one another.

A special kind of bond from spending many years together. It's something that Moblit didn't have with his commanding officer. He felt something similar to envy building inside, but Levi only looked towards the rain clouds and began to talk, almost as if reflecting to himself.

"Must be hard being an aide for someone like that."

"What do you mean?"

"If something interests Hange enough, Hange will ignore everything else--including your life."

"…I consider it as my job to protect my leader at times like that."

"Yeah. It's a job that only you can do."

"Hm…?"

Moblit was unable to fully understand the depth of the words, but Levi continued, his eyes still turned away.

"No matter how far back we go, it's not like we're stuck together all day long. You're the only one who's always by Hange's side, Moblit."

The pouring rain had began to turn into a light drizzle, and the clouds went flying by in the sky.

"Be more confident. I know you can't always stay upbeat, but still."

I see… So he's asking me to keep taking care of Hange.

******

Before they knew it, the rain had disappeared. Sunbeams shone through the clouds to illuminate the two men under the eaves.

"It's cleared up. Now give me those."

"Wait, Captain! You know that one's heavy!"

Levi grabbed one of the paper bags from Moblit's hands and walked into the open. Without so much as looking back, he urged Moblit to do the same.

"We're going back to the same barracks, anyway. It wouldn't be bad to have Hange owe me one."

"…I just hope the Squad Leader notices that you're even there, Captain."

"That's easy enough to solve with a kick in the ass," Levi said.

Walking behind him, Moblit couldn't help but smile as he imagined an embarrassed grin on Captain Levi's face.

The Library That’s Covered In Dust

DISCLAIMER: This is a fan translation, so 110% accuracy is not guaranteed. However, we did our best to keep it as close to the original as possible without breaking English.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The place that the Survey Corps decided to take shelter from the rain was in an old castle that had a strong structure, regardless.  The echoing sound of rainfall beating against the large windows created a noisy atmosphere.

“No way… What a mountain of treasure!! Those ancient writings… If I could read them that would be nice. What the!? I still can’t decode this!”

That backside of someone who was lively as ever, merrily searching for documents was Hanji’s.

“Oi, Kuso-Megane. Did you let your squad members free to roam the place, leisurely?”

“Ah, Levi? That’s not the case because Moblit is taking care of everyone’s concerns. He’s an excellent and valuable subordinate, isn’t he?”

Without looking back, Hanji searched through the books – various types of ancient documents and picture scrolls, that were in this room which seemed to be a library in the past. She tried to pull a book from a place much higher up than her own height, and staggered.

“Ohhh!!”

“Tch!”

Because mountains of books were caused to fall down, altogether, he barely managed to snatch the neck of her jacket, pulling her out of the way.

“Uwaa… You saved me, Levi. If I was hit by such a large amount of books, it would have been a spot that would make my head strange.”

“Don’t worry. It wouldn’t become any weirder. Honestly, you should pay more attention to your surroundings.”

Hanji corrected her hanging, dislocated goggles. She then brushed the dust off of the book she had taken out.

“This book here, for example… This old castle that exists inside the walls, there are many books and stored supplies written with letters that we can’t read right now. Such historic ruins are dotted in great number inside the walls. Seems like an extinct civilization, doesn’t it?”

“Don’t tell me the extent of your outlook. After all, I know your head is sharp. This is why I tell you that your life is important. If it weren’t for me being here right now and you were hit in a fragile place, the bones of your neck would have been broken.”

“You’re kind.”

Levi felt as though he were annoyed. He even made a face as if to show he was in a bad mood. He hates his own character being expressed with such words.

“You say this on purpose, knowing that I don’t like it.”

“Ah ha ha! Saw right through me, huh?”

Hanji, then, sat of the floor with a thump. She opened a book while lifting her face.

“What sort of business is it, so soon?  You came to see me, didn’t you?”

“Ah. It’s about Eren. He wants permission to roam around this old castle, that as a military, we give the approval for him to come out of the basement.”

“It’s safe. The outer walls here were build using a solid method of construction. Furthermore, in the unlikely event that Eren transforms into a titan and busts through the roof, there are a good number of footholds on the tower for our maneuvering equipment……. Ah, if only I could understand the meanings of these pictures while cramming in the impressions of these books and such…” Hanji said, carelessly.

“Understood. That helps…Also…”

“Yes?”

“Before searching the place, dry the clothes on your body. It’s unseemly that your shirt is showing through.”

He points at the fire in a fireplace which was probably lit by Moblit who was worried about the soaking wet superior officer. Levi glared at her with a look in his eyes as if looking at raw garbage.

“Understood. It would be good if I read over there.”

Levi sighed at the view of Hanji’s back as she slowly moved to position herself before the fireplace, and then he left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTES: “Raw Garbage” is the literal translation of the word “Namagomi”; nama meaning “raw” and “gomi” meaning “trash”. Interestingly, “nama” can also mean “crude” if used colloquially. I’m not sure if this is the case with “Namagomi”, however given the context, the scenario it’s being used in, it makes me wonder if he meant crude. Yes, I know the ending sounds rude, but ya gotta remember, this is Levi, the guy who’s bad at expressing himself. He obviously doesn’t look down on her because he was just telling her that her life is important, that he knows she’s smart. CHANGES MADE: Apparently because of the way it was worded, 「お見通しか」Hanji was noting that Levi saw through her (not her through him). When glaring at Hanji, it spoke of the expression in his own eyes, not hers. Thanks to a friend for pointing these out!

Isayama destroyed both of my Levi ships

Better Late

A/N: Levihan, based off the latest chapter!

'Four-Eyes.'

'W-What is it?!' Hange sits up, alert, because you can't be too sure out in the woods and it's rare for Levi to call for her attention (even in his current state). She asks him again what the problem is, but he only extends a hand out to her, palm up. Three fingers curl, beckoning her close.

She takes his hand in hers.

'... Sorry. I should've done this before, when I had all of my fingers.'

Hange laughs, unbothered, 'Nah! It's way cooler to hold a hand like this!'

[okamiwolven]

I just want to post this and stress this: Levi kissed an entire Hanji. He didn’t kiss 20% of a Hanji. He didn’t even kiss 50%. He kissed a whole Hanji. Look at what it’s done to him. You can see the love in his eyes, and he keeps on kissing. This is why Levi is one of my favorite characters.

Well said

Do you know that

Levi's first chapter in noregrets manga was- wings of freedom 🕊 and

Hange's death chapter was - wings of freedom🕊

Levi and hange's first meeting in manga was- Hearts chapter

LEVIHAN AND SOME OF THEIR SIMILARITIES TO THE JIAN BIRD OF THE CHINESE MYTHOLOGY

The Jian Bird is a Chinese Mythological bird that are born with one eye and one wing. The Jian birds according to the myth are said to be created as pairs and it is believed that they must find their other half to reach their full potential or to fly. The Jian bird also symbolizes marriage. In Japan they are known as Hiyoku no Tori.

Let's talk about some of the similarities:

CREATED AS PAIRS:

Levi and Hanji are introduced together in the story. Aside from that there is something about their characters that shows as if one of them was created with the other in mind. Right off the bat they are shown to have contrasting personalities. Levi is quiet and reserved while Hanji is talkative and energetic. Their lifestyle are also different with Levi as someone who highly values cleanliness and Hanji who is noted to have greasy hair as they frequently forget to bathe. But these differences don't create a conflict between them but rather there is balance.

MUST FIND THEIR OTHER HALF TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL:

As portrayed in the series, Levi and Hanji work together a lot. From the bonus chapter about Ilse's journal, capturing of titans, facilitating the titan experiments with Eren, how they worked in the Uprising Arc to the way they could finish each other's sentences. They move almost in complete synchronization. It is evident in the way they talked. It was as if they can already anticipate what the other has in mind. Note that this isn't to say they function well without the other. In Levi and Hanji's case it is more along the lines of they work efficiently together.

ONE EYE:

Hanji loses their left eye after the explosion caused by Bertholdt's Colossal Titan in RTS while Levi loses his right eye after the thunder spear explosion in 115.

ONE WING:

As for the wings I think we could attribute this to the Survey Corps' Wings of Freedom. Levi and Hanji are the only characters who happen to have a chapter titled Wings of Freedom that centers on them.

They supported Erwin and stood by his side until his very last breath.

They are the only Survey Corps veterans who survived RTS and was able to go beyond the walls and across the ocean.

Another thing I think we can add to this is the Wings of Freedom imagery concerning Levi and Hanji.

They look like the Wings of Freedom in that panel in 132 with Hanji being the blue wing and Levi as the white wing. That was not the only thing to note but also their eyes. Facing us, Hanji's uninjured eye is on the left side just like the blue wing while Levi's uninjured eye is on our left just like the white wing. This makes the Jian bird symbolism much more stronger if you ask me.

Levi and Hanji are individuals who just work so well together regardless of their differences. They are a good example of an equal relationship and it is nice to learn that they have similarities to legends and mythical creatures that symbolizes love, partnership and even marriage.

This may have been purely coincidental and not intentionally made but that still doesn't deny the strength of Levi and Hanji's bond.

appreciation to Hanji, he deserves it... without her Levi would not be alive

"Isso Futaride Kokode Kurasouka" (IFKK < if you saw jp fans talk about IFKK, they are referring to this line)

In Jp culture, this is a subtle proposal line and have romantical meaning, in my opinion the speaker (Hange) definitely has some feeling for the listener (Levi), otherwise they wouldn't say that. But Levihan is complicated, they love each other, there's no doubt, but no only the romantical one, also as family, friend, comrade. I can't describe their relationship accurately tbh, maybe platonic but I think they are more than that. Instead of whether this line have romantical feeling, I think the point is Hange wants to spend the rest of her life with Levi, it means much more than just romance.

Especially Hange said "Fataride" (Just the two of us), only her and Levi, no other ppl. In 127 Hange spoke to Jean,

"I wanted to run away, abandon everything, forget everything and live"

“すべて” = Everything, she just said in 126 she wanted to live with Levi, so Levi was not included in the "everything" Hange wanted to abandon and forget. She already counted Levi as a part of herself.

I have read a jp LH fans analysis after 139, she said she was a bit shock because the relationship between LeviHange and 104 is not as close as she expected, but it makes what Hange said more sense. After RtS, it was always the two of them, except Levi needed to babysitting Zeke which seperate them, almost in every flashback we can saw them together. So not only for Hange, Levi also, the idea of "just the two of them" is a consensus between them. Levi never came to sth like "why do you save me" shit, because as soon as Hange found him in 115, he knew Hange will save him and will not abandon him. Hange in 132 also knew Levi wanted to stop her, that’s why she tried to avoid Levi after she decided to take down the wall Titan.

For Levi, he didn't reject Hange's feeling in the forest. Levi only said it is not the time for them to run away, they still have their responsibility. He thinks it is not the right timing, but he didn't say anything about "Just the two of us", because they both take it as a matter of course.

Some ppl said Levi was rejected Hange indirectly, but I don't think so (as I am a shipper). Because there's no need for Levi to reject, he can just ignore it, pretend he didn't know anything. But he especially brought out IFKK, while Hange also mentioned Ackerman and Sannes. In smartpass AU Hange's interview (if I remember it correctly), Hange said Levi always listens to her titan talk and will give response properly. Put it in 126 situation, I think Levi wanted to let Hange knew he already thought and consider about "living here tgt" but now is not the right timing for us to do that. According to jp fans, they think "the unrequited love for titan" in 132 is Levi's answer for Hange's feeling.

Below is just my headcanon, what make Levihan move out from the forest was Eren's declaration. If not because of Eren, Levi will continue pretending to be asleep, thus they can stay with each other a little bit longer. If Levi wanted to kill Zeke so bad, he will not pretend to be asleep but ask where's Zeke immediately once he was conscious. So he probably think it was not bad to stay with Hange in the forest like this until he heard Eren and realized the world will be destroyed, it was not the time for them to stay in the forest anymore.

Imagine a chunin exam scenario.In a friendly combat competition who do you think would win?Levi VS.Hanji.Okay,I know the overwhelming answer is Levi because we’ve all seen his action scenes from the anime and manga but Hanji was literally as smart as Levi is strong and lets say she can bring her own inventions and has ample time to prepare for the match?How would it end?

Thank you for the ask anon! Super sorry for only getting into this now. 

My life and how I’m going about my tumblr activity is currently a mess now. Slowly but surely though I’m fixing it

Anyway, I was thinking about this for a while and you know what, I ended up comparing this a lot to Shikamaru and Temari’s Chuunin Exam scene. Because if I were going to compare any couple in Naruto to Levihan, I would probably deem ShikaTema the closest to Levihan. 

Cause of course, I was a major ShikaTema shipper back in the day. (I mean, I still am, like probably the only reason I still sometimes follow Boruto is because Shikadai has a pretty big part there) 

So to answer your question...

Okay ,I know the overwhelming answer is Levi because we’ve all seen his action scenes from the anime and manga but Hanji was literally as smart as Levi is strong and lets say she can bring her own inventions and has ample time to prepare for the match?

If Hange was completely unprepared, I would definitely give the overwhelming victory to Levi. But we all know Hange likes to have 236643 backup plans when it comes to anything. So in an AU where Levi and Hange were ninjas in Konoha, I would imagine Hange to be the type to at least fangirl over a ninja like Levi. And when Hange fangirls she takes notes, and when she takes notes, she knows weaknesses. Hange has that special skill to be able to utilize those weaknesses when creating strategies.

Maybe over the years, before they did become Genin, Hange would actually have an idea of the Ackerman clan genes. She would have a pretty good idea of how quick Levi is, his limits and maybe she does start to realize that even if Levi is quick and stronger in combat, she still wins strategy wise. 

She would do something similar to Shikamaru maybe, where she would bide her time, just waiting for her inventions to work. Levi would probably do something similar to Temari where he would try to attack if given openings.

Hange though would probably create a barricade between them, made with grenades and explosives from previous inventions and maybe a few traps which Levi can’t see past so he chooses to keep his distance first. 

And with the barricade between them, Hange is able to think of how to lure him in. At the same time of course, Levi would be figuring out on his end how to get past her traps. 

How would it end?

They’re both incredibly tenacious as people and they both have incredible pride. Hange would be smart enough to create inventions that last as long as Levi’s endurance. And Levi being stuck outside her barricade trying to find a way behind her trips would tire him out too.

It wouldn’t be completely farfetched for a fight between a ninja Levi and a ninja Hange to end in a draw tbh. Probably they just waited too long under the sun that they just both pass out. Or maybe the audience just gets tired because Levi or Hange don’t give in and maybe they both just kicked out of the arena and the hokage or whatever just forces a draw and drags them both unwillingly out of the arena.

Note: I was thinking about the possibility of a Levihan fight ending like the ShikaTema Chuunin exams fight in Naruto but I realized neither Levi nor Hange would have done what Shikamaru did. But I ended up comparing the Shikatema dynamics a little more to Levihange

Shikamaru and Temari are low key like Levi and Hange in reverse. Shikamaru is incredibly similar to Levi in terms of demeanor especially post Hidan Kakuzu arc Shikamaru but Shikamaru was blessed with wits more similar to Hange than Levi. 

Temari on the other hand (who is voiced by Romi Paku btw) was more of the combatant in their relationship yet she is more similar to Hange in demeanor. 

And I guess it’s just so cute seeing crumbs of our favorite captain and commander in Shikamaru and Temari and just seeing how some of the Levihan roles are reversed while some are consistent with the ShikaTema dynamic 

Thank you again for this cute ask Anon!

have you seen this? :’)

Yes. And i also know that in the volume Isayama changed his word used for love into something even stronger, like a deep passion and affection.
